What Rabbi Ron Broden's Clients Say...

Brittany Eberight

Rabbi Broden was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning of our interfaith wedding (Jewish and Catholic). We appreciated how receptive Rabbi Broden was to our ceremony drafts and how well he worked alongside our priest, Father Borda. On the day of the wedding, Rabbi Broden was on time and in good spirits. We received many compliments on the ceremony and officiants. Highly recommended.

Five plus stars for Rabbi Ron. He performed the bar mitzvah service for my son and he was excellent. He arrived early, was gracious to everyone, provided an uplifting and interesting service for all. Non-Jewish guests and Jewish guests came up to me after the service and noted how wonderful and thoughtful Rabbi Ron was. It really made the experience that much more special. Thank you, Ron!
